Portugal (IOC code: POR) started writing its history at the Olympics on Scandinavian soil, in the summer and winter games.

Being the 13th nation to join the Olympic Movement, in 1909, it first competed at the Summer Olympic Games in 1912, in Stockholm. It has participated uninterruptedly since, building up a total of 21 presences (18th most assiduous, as of 2004) of which it has collected 20 medals, divided into 3 golds, 6 silvers and 11 bronzes.

The Winter Olympic Games saw Portugal's first participation in 1952, in Oslo. However, being a poorly mountainous country and possessing a mediterranean climate, together with the absence of a winter sporting tradition, explains Portugal's weaker Winter Olympic history, with only 5 (interspersed) presences and no medals.

[edit] Winter Olympics

Small delegations of no more than 5 five competitors represented Portugal at the 1952 (Oslo, Norway), 1988 (Calgary, Canada) 1994 (Lillehammer, Norway), 1998 (Nagano, Japan) and 2006 Winter Olympics (Turin, Italy). As a curious consequence, most of the times the Portuguese flagbearer was the single competitor at those Games. Due to the absence of training conditions and logistics in Portuguese territory, the majority of the national competitors trained and competed abroad, being immigrants (or being Portuguese-descendants) residing on countries with richer winter sports tradition (e.g. Danny Silva).
